Did you know that, when mounted on chain or wagon feeds, the NS36IR Rock Drill excels in surface operations such as track drilling, bench presplitting, and general civil works?
Its rotary-percussion combination produces clean blast holes, reducing fragmentation variability and the need for secondary blasting, while significantly cutting operational downtime.
Key Features & Applications:
Compatible with chain, gauge, and wagon feed systems
Adjustable rotation speed for optimised hole quality
Ideal for quarry benches, road cuts, and structural foundations
The NSS36IR Rock Drill is the ideal solution for track or wagon drill applications when mounted on a chain feed. It’s suitable for quarry bench drilling, pre-splitting, and general-purpose use in civil contracting.
Additionally, the NSMK5 Collaring Device, a remote-controlled pneumatic unit, ensures accurate hole collaring for enhanced precision and safety.
